The Watcher is here to talk about the third episode of Hawkeye which Tom says might be the best episode of Marvel television so far. Which featured an excellent origin story for Echo, a kick ass car chase and hint that we might be getting sweet Uncle Kingpin in the MCU.

And that's to say nothing about the bloody Easter eggs, Pizza Dog and some costume shenanigans. Check it out now!

For Halloween this year Tom is going a different direction. Straight to Forks, Washington to check out the Twilight Saga, a series he's never seen.

Will a vampire romance for teenage girls hold the attention of a man of nearly 30? The answer may surprise you, or it won't, I don't know what you're thinking but you will hear what I think about the first Twilight. Tom talks about the franchise that created an absolute frenzy in the late noughties, the chemistry between Bella and Edward and whether this was worth the time.

For the final film in our Punisher series we look at Punisher: War Zone, the oft-forgotten, critically panned box office bomb... that is actually kind of awesome!

Tom talks about his favourite Punisher film going into the so bad it's good performance of Dominic West as Jigsaw, the crazy violence and the best moment in film history, I'm not joking.

With this week's ReWatcher we delve into the crimes and punishment of 2004's The Punisher and Thomas Jane's return as Frank Castle in the short fan film, Dirty Laundry. It's certainly the most remembered one but is it the best?

Tom talks about the superhero cinema boom of the early 2000's that helped bring the movie to life, the strangely elaborate plot (for the Punisher), the seemingly dangerous set that included a wrestler being stabbed, a potential Spider-Man 2 cameo and finally the bootleg film that gave Thomas Jane a chance to shine.

The ReWatcher returns and he's being punished worse than Frank Castle's foes by sitting through 1989's The Punisher starring Dolph Lundgren.

Tom goes into why there's been so many Punisher films despite the fact they've rarely been good or successful. He talks the baffling decision not to include the Punisher skull but the weird creative choice to make Dolph's face look like a skull... kinda. He also breaks down the ups and many downs of the film, that was probably better off forgotten.

Have you ever seen The Punisher (1989), What did you think of it?

Make sure to come back next week for The Punisher (2004).

#Loki #Marvel #Disney

The fourth episode of #Loki has arrived and it's picked up the pace after last week's episode. Was it a better episode after a lacklustre mid-point?

With some major revelations, reveals and twists this might be the best episode so far. Tom talks about the revelation about the Time Keepers, all the pruning and that mid-credits scene that shows there's a lot more Loki to come.
